Will massage hurt muscles post tummy tuck?

didi50
Is the psoas muscle surgically repaired during tummy tuck? If so is there any risk in losing result if that muscle is massaged through chiropractic. Surgery was several years ago. I recently started seeing a chiropractor for pain from an unrelated injury. I'm concerned this may reduce the great results I had from tummy tuck. My abs definitely don't feel as tight. Any advice is appreciated.
